I made my friend, Elizabeth, a hand drawn birthday card
of one of her favorite flowers, the peony.
Her favorite color is purple
and she especially likes the combination of colors lavender with mint.
A mint green colored mini pastel is rubbed on the background
with a wedge makeup sponge.
For the flower, I chose to use Violet with Purple Violet as the darker accents.
The leaves are Permanent Green Olive with Chrome Oxide Green accents.
The stamen are colored in Dark Cadmium Yellow.
The corner has the prettiest glitter enamel dots.
The inside sentiment is printed and corner punched.
Although I'm not a very good drawing artist
and have trouble with dimension & making things look 'curved',
I'm actually feeling pretty good how this peony turned out.
Thanks for viewing Elizabeth's birthday card.
Wishing her a very Happy Birthday!
Lisa
